Key Strategic Priorities

Operational Excellence Re-Investment In The Business Capital Allocation

Outperform in tough end-market volume environment • End-markets are stable,

with limited natural growth • Grow in foodservice, global

beverage, and through new product development

Ensure price offsets commodity inflation over reasonable timeframe • For CRB and CUK, roughly,

50% of the contracts that adjust use an index pricing model and 50% are on a cost-model

• For SBS, largely tied to an index pricing model

• Continuing to migrate to cost-models

Drive productivity in excess of labor inflation within baseline capital spend • Baseline capital spend including the SBS

mill and foodservice converting assets combination = $320M

Maintenance = $220M Return focused = $100M

When capital exceeds $320M, clearly outline the project scope and return profile • Size of projects typically in the $15-$40M

range • Target after-tax IRR’s in mid-to-high

teens

Projects in 2016/17 that were above baseline capital spend • Curtain coater installation at Macon in Q3

2016 $30M investment / $10M of

annualized EBITDA • Machine upgrade at W. Monroe in Q1

2017 $40M investment / $12M of

annualized EBITDA

Acquisitions • Purchase assets at post-

synergy multiple well below our current valuation trading multiple

• Continue to increase our integrated (mill to converting) position, to drive cash flow

• Extend run-way for organic capital deployment at compelling IRRs

Dividends • At $0.30/share, dividend/cash

flow ratio is approximately 25%

• Good runway to grow dividend as earnings grow

Share repurchases • Excess cash flow after

acquisitions and dividends back to shareholders via share repurchases, when valuation is compelling
